I think I probably hoped for it a little bit, but I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist... or maybe even a pessimist.

When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away, why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?

I had the greatest time on Broadway and made friends I never expected to make!

I think there is a predisposition among Christians that Hollywood is anti-Jesus or anti-Christianity. I was warned I'd have to fight to maintain the freedom to express my beliefs. It's an unfair stereotype, and so far that's been the farthest from the truth. While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up, but I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

I mean, that's kind of what this business is about in some ways. You're trying to make everybody like you. But you can't do that. You can't force everybody - anybody to like you if they're just not willing to do it.

No matter what the situation you're in, if you're raised in a loving environment, that's the most important thing.
